Re: setting word-space more globally?

[Mats Bengtsson]

These properties are ordinary layout properties, so if you for example
use the \markup as a lyrics syllable, then you can do \override 
LyricText #'word-space = ...
within the current lyrics line. You can also do the setting globally
for all Lyrics contexts as described in "Changing default context settings".

The property is certainly documented, both in section "Overview of 
markup commands" and in the program reference for LyricText and several 
other text related layout objects (in section "Entering Lyrics", click 
on "LyricText at the bottom of the page and then on "text-interface")
Note that there are a large number of properties available that are 
never mentioned explicitly in the main text of the manual, only in the 
program reference.
